FOX NOW Updated, Brings Streaming TV To Verizon Fios And Mediacom Customers, More Coming Soon

Posted by in Applications, News

I don't know about you, but it's my dream that one day I can completely ditch my cable company for an a la carte solution where I only get the channels I actually want. I feel like we're edging that way at a snail's pace, even though most streaming channels still require cable service before they'll offer up shows on mobile.

The latest to join this trend is FOX, with its FOX NOW app. The name may actually sound familiar, as it actually hit the Play Store a few weeks ago. At the time, however, it only offered a second-screen experience and the like.

NVIDIA Shows Off Tegra 4-Optimized Riptide GP 2 On Project SHIELD, Coming This Summer

Posted by in Games, News

Vector Unit – the development team behind Riptide GP, Shine Runner, and Beach Buggy Blitz – has long been taking advantage of NVIDIA's Tegra processors. In fact, Riptide was one of the games used to show off the power of the Tegra 2 back in the day, and it was even updated to add enhanced graphics for the Tegra 3, once again highlighting the power of Tegra.

Now, NVIDIA has released a teaser video showing off Riptide GP 2, which will of course be optimized for the Tegra 4 and its 72 GPU cores. The gameplay looks similar to the original Riptide GP, but the waves are larger, curves are tighter, jumps are  bigger, and, of course, the graphics are better.

Facebook Pages Manager Updated To v1.2 With Some New Features, Fixes To Annoying Quirks

Posted by in Applications, News

If you have a Facebook page for a group, business, or the like, then you should have Facebook Pages Manager installed. Otherwise, it's pretty difficult to do anything with that page while on-the-go. If you've already been using FBPM for a while, then you're probably familiar with its quirks, as well as its missing features. Facebook is looking to alleviate at least a bit of your frustration, as the company pushed a small update today that actually brings some fixes and adds new functionality to the app:

What's in this version:

• Turn push notifications on or off for each Page
• Upload a photo to a specific album
• Attach a photo to a status update
• Change profile and cover photos
• Save a shortcut to a Page on your phone's home screen
• Share links from other apps to Pages Manager

And in one fell swoop, Pages Manager becomes more useful.

iOS Hit 'SpellTower' Comes To The Play Store, Marries Scrabble And Tetris For Your Brain-Busting Enjoyment

Posted by in Games, News

As a writer, I pretty much like words. That's my job. Well, it's not my job to like words, but it helps. It's my job to write words in a coherent and entertaining manner. But I digress, this isn't about stringing words together into sentences; it's about stacking words on top of each other in a Tetris-like game for the aspiring wordsmith. Sure, it may sound a bit confusing, but in reality the concept appears to be relatively simple.

The game is called SpellTower, and brings a funky twist to the traditional word game. It's like the dev threw Scrabble, Tetris, and a few crossword puzzles into a blender, and this is the result.

        Posted by in News, Rogers, Xperia T

        AT&T started pushing Jelly Bean (4.1.2) to its variant of the Xperia T (the TL) earlier this month, but Rogers apparently wasn't far behind.

          Lets you view and access all your photos, videos and tunes in one place.
        • Increased options for personalization
          A revamped home screen experience for handling widgets, apps and shortcuts… With up to 7 desktop panes, widgets that auto-resize and actionable notifications, you have complete flexibility to create the interface you want / need with a few simple touches!

        Koush's Superuser App Now An Integral Part Of CyanogenMod, But You Won't Find It In The App Tray

        Posted by in Applications, News

        A few days ago, Koush released his newly-updated Superuser app into the Play Store. At the time, he noted that it would be integrated into CyanogenMod nightlies in upcoming builds. As of the latest releases, the app is now the go-to for Su access on your device – but there's a kicker: if you go looking for it, you won't find it in the app tray.

        1

        You see, CM decided to literally integrate the app into the system, so you'll actually find it in the Settings > Superuser section. Of course, this doesn't affect the app's functionality in any way, and you can still use another Su app if you so choose.

        Purported Screenshots From The U.S. Variants Of The Galaxy S IV Show Up, Show Off 1.8GHz Quad-Core Processor, Smart Pause/Scroll, And More

        Posted by in Galaxy S4, Leaks, News, Rumors

        Well, we're little more than a week away from Samsung's Galaxy S IV Unpacked event in New York. You know what that means: rumors, leaks, and the like are all starting to pour in like mad. This go around we're seeing supposed screenshots from the U.S. version of the GSIV, which showed up on GSM.Israel.co.il. Sure, it's a curious place for a U.S. device to make its debut, but the shots are convincing nonetheless.

        1[5] 1 2

        As you can see, this confirms a few things right out of the gate: a 5-inch 1080p display and 1.8GHz quad-core chip. Past that, all other pertinent information has been blurred, so at least next week still holds some surprises.
